“Went SCS on 28-06-2020, ordered 2 seater & 3 seater sofas & stair carpet. Carpet fitted within a month , great. Thought we would get new carpet for living room to go with new sofas, went back to store to be told our new sofas were being delivered to them on 09-10-20, said they could get new carpet fitted in time for our new suites. New carpet fitted, great. Old sofas sold & away. Phoned to see when they were going to be delivered, ********GET THIS 04-01-2021******** another 3 months, disgusted doesn't even come close to how we feel. Totally let us down, Deckchairs for christmas ref- SO111-4427377”

“Ordered a carpet. It had a design fault which was confirmed by a carpet inspector. We chose another carpet, twice we emptied the living room to have it laid and twice it never turned up. The last time we were informed the evening before it was due to be delivered that the carpet wasn't in stock, that was after the store manager told us on person that it wcould be laid the next day. We are fed up at being fobbed off with excuses and asked for a refund but they are not interested. AVOID the IPSWICH SCS store, shoddy and rude service.”

“Terrible customer service. The only way I could get a response was to leave a bad review on trust pilot. I ordered 2 sofas online. After waiting 12 weeks one sofa was damaged on delivery. They offered to repair but I declined. The cushions sagged after one nights use. After 5 weeks the sofas were eventually collected. Goodness knows when I will receive a refund as no communication at all and incredibly difficult to speak to anyone.”

“I wish I had read these reviews back in Aug before I went to Scunthorpe SCS, recently purchased a 3seater and cuddle chair Aug 2020, haven't received any paperwork and still awaiting delivery. Went in to see when this would be delivered and asked for the paperwork. I noticed it stated a 2 seater instead of a 3 seater. I complained that it was their fault when completing the purchased on their tablet which you are unable to read fully, due to the length and small print. Not happy at all with their service saying I would need to pay a handerling charge if I wanted to change to a 3 seater. I would never purchase anything again from this company dreadful. I'm sure I will be adding further comments when or if it arrives 🤔😕”

“We ordered two new suites in June, knowing there was a 12 week wait which is normal, went into store and ordered a new carpet for same room & was told new suites were to be delivered on 9th October, great, but they could fit new carpet before suites arrive, now been told there estimated to arrive in the new year, 4th of January, 6 months nearly, what a joke of a company, going to trading standards, this must be breach of contract”

“If you would like a sofa in the wrong colour,the wrong material and without any legs this is the ideal place to purchase one. Customer Service is none existent. After numerous calls I am now expecting a replacement in November.”

“Had our delivery 2nd October 4days later the foam disintegrated in the arm. Having a good look at it then found over 20 big issues with saga and chair. Wonky arm on chair, base of sofa and chair to arms inch out on each side. Material all puckered and support leg under the sofa 1" off the floor. Complained to customer service representative and after realing off all the problems I had a sarcastic "is that all" Told it needs to be inspected and a report done. Coming 15th November. Ready for a fight for money back. Avoid at all costs.”

“We ordered a sofa and swivel chair after 3 months we noticed the cusions sinking right down to the base and could feel coil springs and the wooden frame also the swivel chair started tilting and had the same collapsing of the foam filling,may I say I weigh 11st 2 and my wife 9st after contact to their customer care a heavily tattooed man turned up and after being pleasant enough became agitated when trading standards were mentioned, anyway we eventually received an email stating that we should regularly plump the cusions up and sit in alternative positions,and did we take their upholsterers advice ,what a complete farce he didnt even know it was coil sprung as he kept saying it was web sprung ,what a clown it had immovable cusions and was a sofa bed..anyway we have wasted £1350 on an inferior suite that was shipped from china so be aware if you make a purchase and something isn't right they will do everything possible to fob you off,”

“We paid over £700 for our carpet which has been poorly fitted, SCS have been disgusting in their behaviour, we had the carpet fitters back after much pleading and said carpet still has a hole which can’t be fixed and is fraying , this awful company have offered us a Paul try £100 compensation and won’t budge on this despite the fact that we will shortly have to replace the carpet as they use cowboy carpet fitters AVOID”

“Customer service is appalling through no fault of our own my 3 seater sofa was brought in a van damaged and never got off the van. We have waited a week for information to what is happening but no one will take responsibility just get passed from pillar to post when I phone. I will not wait 12 weeks for a new one I want my money back with comp for all this stress. I will go to the papers with this. I wish I had never heard of S C S and feel sick everytime their advert comes on knowing how they treat people.”

“Dreadful customer service...we bought a sisa italia couch and chair, thinking it was quality the chair is like a sinkhole... no support whatsoever. They Sent an upholsterer to look at it who said it’s fine (but offered to sort it for £70)an independent upholsterer says the wrong type of foam is in seat... too soft! Now they want to charge me £75 for someone else to look at it! No customer support at all .... never again 😡”

“If I could give a minus star it would deserve it Avoid at all costs as they are a bunch of liars who sell goods then either don't deliver or sell you very shoddy goods.Before buying check out a FB page called SCS complaints page where lots of people post their horror stories Customer service non existent In my case let me down on vinyl flooring and lied about installation when I had been dumped for a full house fit Needed the room doing as son was having open heart surgery and needed to self isolate They didn't show up Awful after care and offered £30 compensation They are not part of the furniture ombudsman scheme and that says it all CAB bombarded with complaints and many envoke section 75 to get refunds or take small claims court cases Please don't buy from SCS”

“i wish i could give 0 stars or even a minus. Avoid this company is my advice we ordered a 3k leather corner sofa from this firm, we went back to the shop several times after measuring it. As it was too large to get in in one piece we ordered a furniture upholsterer to dismantle it on the day also through SCS. when the item arrived it was the wrong configuration, we ordered a left handed on and a right handed came. we called the store straight away to point this out but they told us it was our fault because we signed. the form didnt say which way it was only that it was a 2corner1 from that we was told we should have known what that meant in SCS in store jargon. we was very clear which configuration we wanted. there was one in store and clearly told the salesman that we wanted the opposite way to that one. the very idea that we wouldnt know which we need for our house is laughable. i wrote to the relevant departments they would either ignore me or take months to reply at the time of all of this my father had just been diagnosed with cancer and i was his primary carer. i had to deal with 3 years of them playing me and treating me like dirt for a mistake that clearly wasnt mine. they could easily had the sofa back and ordered the correct one while selling this without a loss, but theyd rather lie, cheat, steal. i was due to go to the small claims court when my father finally passed away. i needed the money id saved for court for his funeral. afterwards i couldnt face it so they got away with ripping us off. id advise anyone contemplating dealing with this firm to keeping well away. my brother had a similar issue with dfs and it was sorted the same week. this company are awful please avoid at all costs”

“Bought my sofa in 2018 it’s hardly been used and the frame is splitting its creaking on one side when investigated underneath you can see the frame is starting to come through the bottom under cloth , spoke to customer after care and they have told me the frame is under warranty for ten years BUT I have a £75 call out charge for someone to come out and decide if it’s a faulty frame or accidentally broken , absolutely disgusting, I’m fuming best thing about it I bought this on finance as I was unable to afford one out right and I’m still paying for it so basically I’m paying now for a settee we are afraid to sit on in case the frame goes all together”
